Stop And Smell The Roses

Dr. Michele Burklund June 13, 2015

Even though I live in such a small village (population about 150, average age roughly 75), I feel as though I'm always discovering something new everyday!  

Simply walking down the streets lined with flowers, seeing the women sitting outside of their homes crocheting beautiful things, and watching all the village people gather in the town square for coffee and conversation inspires me to remember the importance of the little things in life.

On my morning walks, I stop and smell the roses, say hello to everyone I pass, and enjoy the peaceful moments.  I could really get used to not having cell reception and a car!

Today, remember to breathe, smell the roses, and leave your Iphone at home!

Why is Greek coffee so much better?  Well, it's all in the preparation which creates a higher concentration of more protective compounds than your average cup of joe.

What’s the most inspiring part of living in a small Greek village?  Watching the elders work in their gardens each morning and seeing them forage for herbs to prepare their daily cuisine.  Botanical studies have even shown that this island has one of the most interesting eco-systems in Europe, rich with indigenous plants.

Other Countries Consider It A Weed But Not The Cretans! After doing some research, I was amazed that I had never heard of this plant... or, for that matter, how someone could view it as a weed! Purslane simply deserves more respect.
